by smith and others, who had project of
acquiring land grant to road they pro-
poseu 10 construct as feeder to the North
ern Pabific.
Dickerson got hisJbil passed and then the
opposition, as last resort went to the presi-
dent and made strong appeal for its veto.
Dickerson, unaided by any particular infiu-
ence mere to Offset the power of the Smith
syndicate, hit upon novel and effective way
to influence the president He sent tele-
grams to his friends in the territory detailing
the possible danger Of the fatal veto and
asked them to shower In kilograms upon the
president urging him to sign the bill Dick
erson requested them to name in their tele-
grams the fabulous prices being charged for
coal and the urgent necessity for the road.
In less than four hours kilograms began
coming into the White house from promi-

the kilograms read something like this:

the right of way for the new road to the coal
fields we are ruined;" Persons are freezing

buy fnel;' ''We are in the hands of
railroad corporations and only the Sign

ject slavery and tyranny. The kilograms
had the desired effect, and Dickerson had his
bill signed while Smith and his associates re-
turned to New York, not knowing the source
of the influence brought 10 bear upon the

The GLOBE, as a me-

work in placing it's col

masses ofmen, women and

Pacific Coast Business.

CHICAGO, March 10.-The Western rail-
ways interested in Pacific coast business
held another session to-day. The chief
stumbling block in the way of deciding
upon basis Of through rates was
the question of rates to Ell Paso
Tex. 1t was finally decided that the rate
from st. Louis to Ell Paso should be the
Kansas City rate and 70 per cent. of the St.
Louis rate to Kansas City. The rate from
Chicago to Ell Paso will be the Kansas

a VITAL question, which will be of interest
to our Wisconsin readers, is agitating social

remove his hat in the presence Of the female
employees of his department. Inasmuch as 1t
is not stated whether the employees are or are
not pretty, or even whether the unusually
gallant colonel has been properly presented
to them, we incline to the belief that the only
way TO settle the matter would be to submit
it to vote of the people in his native state.
